I didn't like this part. I kept having to 'grind' and run back to the ship because I didn't want to waste any of my items on these mobs right before the boss and with no way to buy new items. I probably gained 5 levels per character trying to avoid the enemies and make it to the boss with full health but kept encountering then and fealing the burn so I had to run back to the ship.

Dude I just remembered some rap song on the radio where they sampled the theme from the arcade version of Galaga. Some radio show I occasionally listen to puts in samples from Mario 64 from time to time during and between different songs. This would've been mindblowing to me decades ago that mass media like radio and TV even ACKNOWLEDGE video games, let alone show it off as much as they do for the past 5 or 6 years.

Although, I'm not sure if that's positive or negative. The last thing retro games need is even more posers who are only into it because they think it's popular.

>Lindblom was challenged by the task of culturally translating "an outsider's view of the U.S." for an American audience.[34] He also sought to stay true to the original text, though he never met or spoke with Itoi.[34] In addition to reworking the original puns and humor, Lindblom added private jokes and American cultural allusions to Bugs Bunny, comedian Benny Hill, and This Is Spinal Tap.[34] Apart from the dialogue, he wrote the rest of the game's text, including combat prompts and item names.[14] As one of several Easter eggs, he named a non-player character for his daughter, Nico, who was born during development. While Lindblom took the day off for her birth,[34] he proceeded to work 14-hour days[14] without weekends for the next month

Earthbound does not have that much dialogue and someone who is fluent could translate the whole game in a couple of (normal) workdays.

In what regards, exactly? I know people dote on how quirky the series is, but as far as I can tell there's nothing in the mother series that you couldn't get out of a 20th century fantasy novel like the phantom tollbooth or the oz series.
I guess the mother series has meta-textual elements that sets it apart of most jrpgs?

Honestly, it seems to me that part of the appeal that itoi's writing would have to a Japanese audience would be how western it is. Mother 1 and 2 both take place of in america (or eagleland) and even in an untranslated state has a lot of references to western media. No doubt that a Japanese audience would see a lot of novelty in that, especially when it comes from a fellow japanese and not a filthy gaijin.

What are you talking about? If this post was made in 2002 I would agree with you.

Before Super Smash64 nobody really cared about Earthbound, which is why it was being sold so cheap at the time. I remember having no idea who Ness was when I unlocked him in Super Smash64 and none of my friends knew who he was either. It wasn't until 2003 when ZSNES became popular at my highschool and people were talking about fun SNES games that a bunch of us found out about Earthbound and it became somewhat popular but still obscure. You couldn't walk up to anybody and ask them about it like you could with Mario. I was tempted to buy a copy of it complete in box in 2004 on eBay for 120$ but that seemed pretty high when I could just play it on my emulator for freeeeeee. Then the price continued to climb and here we are today.

Modern games still only found out about Earthbound because of Super Smash Melee/brawl/ultimate.

Poo's only weapon really only adds a measly +30 damage and is 1/128 drop in an area that will stop spawning enemies when you finish it.
Jeff's ultimate weapon is another 1/128 damage that actually has worse damage output than his readily available multi-bottle rockets and is worse against multiple targets than the Heavy Bazooka.
Ness's ultimate weapon is yet another rare drop and is found at literally the last kind of enemy you can encounter before the final boss, in an area you cannot return from.

I think that was actually the effect of Giygas' concentrated radiating evil and hatred effecting his body over the course of the game that turned him all creepy green and the alien tech time machine actually kept him safe until he overused it

So is there a way to use the condiments on food? Like the ketchup or choco chips. I'd assume they should be able to be used on other food like burgers or cookies, but when I try to use them (ketchup, tabasco, etc), I just eat them and get few HP replenished.

Using the main food items while carrying the corresponding condiment will automatically ''add'' the condiment to the item - for example, eating a hamburger while carrying a pack of ketchup will recover more HP, in exchange for using both items.

Im one of these dumb zoomer faggots and im currently makin a earthmeme clone

you guys got any tips to making the game more SOUL?
i obviously cant do anything like rolling down hp bars in RPG maker although i got a few tricks up my sleeve (VR headsets) but that's about it
and i dont even like the VR because it gives me a headache
i cant even do something special like paula's pray function or having the enemy type text during battle and i think it massively hampers me..

RPG Maker is very limited and rigid, have you considered Game Maker Studio instead? It's more flexible.
VR is a terrible gimmick, don't bother with it. If you're gonna do a gimmick, make it something that's about gameplay.

Don't do what that hipster numale did with Yiik, it's FULL of bad design decisions, and I'm not even getting into the douchebag MC who's the dev's self-insert, like go look at some in-depth reviews of it and see why that game doesn't work in terms of gameplay.
(Be wary if you're prone to epileptic seizures, that game loves to flash the screen constantly)
You want make sure the gameplay isn't tedious and drawn out, normal enemy encounters shouldn't constantly make the player go "Aw fuck, not MORE combat!", challenging the player is good, but you don't want him to feel like you're just constantly wasting his time, if it's not a boss or miniboss, the fight should be able to be beat in fairly short order, assuming the player isn't underleveled or underequipped for the part.

There's some delicate balance in all of this, but you should recognize some pitfalls to try to avoid, and you should try to make something which you think would be fun.

Do you have like a basic idea for what you want your game to be? Like just a quick and vague description of the overall plot, and what kind of gameplay you're looking to have?

I guess RPGMaker has changed a lot since I was a kid.

Uh, for plot, it wouldn't actually have to be anything really complex.
Is it an entirely surrealist world, or are there parts which are more or less normal?

Maybe the main characters are looking for a treasure, because they have some kind of dream they want to achieve, or some kind of seriously pressing financial need?
Maybe it could be a murder mystery + revenge story?

It is pretty common in hip hop. You guys talking about sample laws in this thread have no idea what youre talking about. Basically if a sample is used in any way, the artist and studio are liable to get it sorted before sending it out for sale, and if caught could face retaliation from the original creator of the sample. A lot of times this goes under the radar because 1) The sample is obscure or manipulated enough that the source is never found or 2) The artist earns money under a threshold that is seen as low enough that pursuing them legally is no longer worth it financially.

there's a difference in how much the sample covers obliviously, Superfreak and Can't touch this have a very similar structure while say a small sample that's only used for a few times in a song (and not as the beat/melody) wouldn't be seen as been plagiarized.

>The sample of "Super Freak" that forms the basis of the song led Rick James and other performers on the original record to file a lawsuit for infringement of copyright. The suit was settled out of court when Hammer agreed to credit James as a songwriter, effectively granting James millions of dollars in royalties.[5]
So not successfully sued (nor, Little Richard), but settled.

I just finished it last night, after more than 2 decades of asking myself if it was worth playing. In the end I found it to be a good playthrough, so it's worth it, yeah. But, it's really off-kilter from most normal stuff. If you can get past basic weirdness you'll find a nice story with sparse but effective writing, some creative music with some really funky bass lines, well balanced gameplay that honestly drags on a bit after a while, and an honest and authentic emotional core.

It's a simple but endearing game. You might not like it, but it's worth a look. It's not perfect, though. The inventory system is interesting, but unwieldy and juggling items between your characters and Escargot Express gets really tiring really fast. In the last third of the game you'll probalby find yourself avoiding battles at all costs because they get dull. I mentioned the game's emotional core, and it's great, but because of the sparse writing, it takes its time to fully develop and you might miss it.

It's also really good-natured and easy going. Reminds me of a few movies I've seen by Japanese directors like Ozu, Kore-Eda, or Kazuhiro Soda.

tl;dr I liked it.
